Happy St. Patrick's Day

It's the High Holiday for my family today. The big Green one. St. Patrick's Day. I have a green meeting tonight with my Teen Corps and we'll be painting a rain barrel for a green campaign at the library.
Last night I did a program at the Homer Twp. PL in Homer Glen, IL, where my librarian friend Alex works. I did my Crazy About Cakes, and I showed them my Lime Ribbon Delight triumph photo (see previous post). We all had a good laugh, and many said they were glad to see that other people have baking disasters too.

This is from Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Cook Book, 1959. This is a suggested centerpiece. Nice styrofoam.
